With a slower metabolism, they don’t produce as much moisture, they don’t replace old, worn out cells as quickly, and they don’t replace the collagen and elastin that make your skin firm, strong and flexible. Then wrinkles form. Especially on your face and neck.

Poor sleep and a bad diet weaken your skin.

Too much sugar in your diet also accelerates wrinkle formation.

Smoking’s another big cause of increased skin aging and a loss of tone and color.

Drinking alcohol dehydrates the body, especially the skin.

Environmental pollution can force your body to use up antioxidants like vitamin E that it might otherwise use to keep your skin healthy and radiant.
